Anyone who has tried to download new widgets, was often met with a message "Maximum number of" face. Neither could delete old or install new widgets. Frustration was announced.

Rightly, many ask themselves, what is for now is hidden behind it. In CH the user opens up versatile opportunities to share the information contained on the mobile media with devices from other users.

Some of the concept of DLNA is in this context to say something. DLNA is an amalgamation of a number of well-known electronics companies, which will enable media between different devices such as mobile phones, TVs, recorders, etc. to share and stream.

CH, therefore, represents the DLNA client of the jet, which can be used as streaming video on the jet to a compatible TV. Or you can stream his music library as an audio stream from the jet to a DLNA-compliant facility. Various combinations are possible. The jet will then function as so-called digital media server (DMS). The structure of a compound similar to the Wi-Fi and BT connectivity and is easy and done quickly.

More on DLNA can be found here.

karl, 10 Dec 2009why so many complaints? new f/w did'nt fix the issues of the phone?What firmware? Where is this firmware on Samsung's website?...

Also do you think the new firware will solve the hard to use OS, the battery life, the oily patach or the lack of applications?.....

But even for the things that it can solve, we are expecting an official update regarding the new firmware and not links from various forums to a supposedly new firmware which no one knows what it fixes, what it breaks, what it leaves unchanged and whether your data will be lost or not.

We want samsung to start realizing that they have a huge responsibility to everyone who paid 400 euros to buy this phone.

We expect samsung to officially announce the new firmware and officially reply to all concerns as they are listed below.

No cheap excuses or complete ignorance any more. We are going to post in every forum and we are going to flood Samsung's contact pages and emails with these questions until they respond properly as they should have done months ago.

Request to Samsung, 10 Dec 2009We, the Samsung loving folks who used our hard earned money in a time of financial crises to b... moreIn addition to the seven points in my post below, there are two more you should add when pasting the post in other forums:

8. Why is the battery life so short?

9. Why do most of your jet devices have an oily patch under the touchscreen? Even when we request to have it replaced, the new one that they give us, has the same problem. Why is this? What do you plan to do about it?

We, the Samsung loving folks who used our hard earned money in a time of financial crises to buy the Samsung Jet, kindly request that the good and caring people at Samsung respond in an urgent and public manner to our following concers:

1. A step by step guide on how to install route 66 and activate GPS. And we mean everything, from how to find the Navigation in the phone settings, clicking yes, restarting the phone, intalling route 66 and what to do after that. Everything because it is so difficult and we are not as smart as the genious good engineers at the wonderful company of Samsung.

2. How to play youtube videos. Include all relevant settings, from A to Z. Do not leave anything out, even the simplest thing.

3. For those who can play youtube videos, how to fix quality issues of playback

4. How to best install Java applications

5. Are you going to publish a new firmware? Are you going to make the new firmware S8000XEII2 official? Where can we download this from your page? What problem does it fix? What are the updates included?

6. A few months back you announced that you will open your platform to developers in order to develop applications for your proprietary OS. What happened? Where are these applications? What happened to smarter than a smartphone? You also said in private correspondance with myself and other users that Samsung plans to develop its own applications for the Jet. What happened. We want the smarter than a smartphone you promised us, and we want it 6 months ago.

7. With windows, symbian and now your own smartphone OS, Bada, have you forgotten the Jet and those who bought it?

****To dissatisfied Jet users: Please repost this in every phone related forum that exists and send it to all contact emails and forms of Samsung***
